The trouble with too much emphasis on reflexive sharing of interview notes with interviewees – what about the crucially important pre-reflexive dimensions?

The theoretical underpinning of your methodology

If the internet is so atomised, how can you make sense of it ethnographically/empirically? A. I don’t find it to be atomised, main problem is finding the time to keep up with intensely social, fast-moving environments (facebook, twitter, pirate pad, forums…)

Ethnographic theorising is back-to-front (or inductive): it’s only after fieldwork that we assemble a theoretical framework (crazy, I know, but that’s how we like it)

We don’t do variables

Couldn’t you have studied atheist activism (mentioned in my prez)?. Yes, even though I’m interested in atheists I resisted because other issues seem more urgent right now, e.g. the Sinde bill, pro-democracy protests.
